President William Ruto, who campaigned against "dynasties" in the 2022 general election, has now aligned himself with the very political families he once criticized. This shift has baffled many, especially after his "Hustler Nation" narrative.

• President Ruto initially rose to power by portraying himself as a "hustler" battling the entrenched "dynasties" of the Kenyattas, Mois, and Odingas.
• He has since formed alliances with former adversaries Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga, and recently brought in Gideon Moi.
• This "broad-based government" concept is seen as a betrayal of his original "Hustler Nation" supporters as 2027 approaches.
